1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

We investigated the clinicopathological characteristics of 31 cases of pleomorphic high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (PHSIL) of the uterine cervix. We reviewed electronic medical records and all available slides to collect clinical and pathological information. PHSILs were histologically characterized by significant nuclear enlargement, marked pleomorphism, hyperchromasia, increased mitotic activity, and frequent atypical mitoses. In the majority of cases (24/31; 77.4%), this striking nuclear atypia involved both the surface epithelium and the endocervical glands. In the remaining seven cases, pleomorphic cells were observed in the surface epithelium only. PHSILs involving both the surface epithelium and glands showed higher mitotic counts and Ki-67 labelling indices than the surface-only PHSILs. Invasive squamous cell carcinoma was present in only one case (3.2%), and none developed recurrent disease. Our observations of striking nuclear atypia in cases of HSIL did not indicate increased aggressiveness. Further investigations are required for confirmation of our data in larger cohorts.
